    36mg is a Knockout!

    Enter the magic of DIY :) It's great to mix whatever strength you want. I usually vape at ~20mg but someone posted elsewhere a recommendation of always having a carto filled with high nic like that 36mg you mentioned, just in case you need a hard nic hit. Stress, etc. I plan to start doing that :)

    No smoking at cigar bars?

    I suppose for us it would all come down to whether a judge responsible would categorize vaping as smoking. If we ever get tossed in the same bin as tobacco users, we're fried. As long as the proper people are educated on the matter, we should be good. Vaping truly does not need an exception as...

    Hiya Folks...New here, just wanted to say hello, and a question about the GLV2 5v

    Hi, and welcome! Glad you found the forum, there's more info and great people here than you could possibly imagine. Unfortunately, your multimeter help will not come from me because I'm multimeter-......ed still. Bought one one Amazon, and it was DOA so never learned a thing about then. But...

    Max amount of $$$$ you would spend on a mod?

    Started with a regular 510, moved to a Riva, bought an advance years' worth of juice and atties, and now am jumping on a Darwin. I'm not the richest person out there, but if a mod really does what I'm looking for, and will last me at least a year, I would spend 250+ on it... I'm just not going...

    !!!YAY!!!!! My V4L order shipped!! oh yes and hello :)

    Welcome to the forum :) There's SO much info here. If there's anything lacking at all about your initial experience, let anyone know and we can point you in the right direction. There's nothing like getting a great nic fix on the living room couch and giving off a nice smell of apples or...

    SouthPaw Modifications open for Pre-Orders!

    Your work is amazing! Quite beautiful, and the woods... oh my, the woods! I've never seen many of them before. The only thing holding me back is a lack of a VV option... if you ever decide to produce one, I'd be willing to pay however much extra it costs.

    1-2 feet of snow or 1 inch of ice- take your pick:)

    12-16 inches over here, followed by freezing rain and 'wintery mix'. I hate wintery mix. :) EDIT: Note to self, check what forum a post is in before replying. Ahh, the perils of blindly clicking New Posts!

    Forty 510 Atties for $63.94 shipped

    Thanks for the multimeter recommendation, I'm gonna pick one up. And the atties are atties, not cartomizers... I think the distributors get lazy and buy the same kind of box. I've had blank carts (the useless empty ones that hold filler), cartomizers, and now these atties all come in the same...

    eGo/ eGo T/ Tornado T USB Pass Through

    madvapes.com sells 510 connectors pretty cheap. I think around $2.50

    Forty 510 Atties for $63.94 shipped

    Just received my order from an Ali Express vendor, Kingwise China Co Ltd. I was worried about customs, but it came through smoothly. Ordered on 1/18/10, arrived today 1/31/10 (13 days) with the free Hong Kong Post option. As for performance, I believe they say on the site that they are LR...

    Multimeter help

    I've never used a multimeter before, and I'm trying to test an atty for resistance for the first time. I think I might have gotten a DOA multimeter, but I'm not sure... having never used one before. This is the multimeter I got: Amazon.com: Equus 3320 Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter...

    What kind of atties for a 5V device?

    @ cskent WOW! Thanks so much for the HV passthrough link, I'm ordering one today! You, my friend, are awesome.

    What kind of atties for a 5V device?

    I've been using a Riva for a while now with LR 510's and 306's, and am looking to move on up in the world. I've been looking for a good VV mod, but I'll wait to get one of those until the Eclipse or VVPV are released. In the meantime, I'm considering the GLV-2, as people say 5V vaping is...

    The Darwin From Evolv!!!

    I just sent a message a bit ago today on the Darwin site to ask about new stock eta, got a reply VERY quickly, on a Sunday too! They put me on the mailing list, and said eta is ~2 weeks. I'd message them via the website 'contact us' and I'm sure they'll do the same.

    *sigh* I'm so impatient sometimes.

    I'm looking to get my first 'big' mod after using a Riva for quite some time... every one that I want is either back ordered like crazy (Ali'i VV... I don't even know when the next order timeframe is) or soon to be released, eta unknown (VVPV and GLV-2 Super Mini)... I know there are many great...

    Found a GREAT juice/parts/flavor carrying case

    It was 30 bucks, they have other ones as well... they had a black one that opened a different way and was a bit bigger, but the shelves didn't open automatically when you pulled out the top.

    Found a GREAT juice/parts/flavor carrying case

    I've been hunting for a while to get a decent case to hold all my juices and goodies, as I DIY and things can get a little out of hand sometimes. After looking through assorted tackle boxes at wally world, my girlfriend took me over to the cosmetics and I found exactly what I was looking for...

    Which one???

    GLV-2 is a 'better' PV than the Riva, but the Riva is in a different league... it's more of a long term disposable. I use one myself (Riva) and love it, but when you look to mods like the GLV-2, you're looking at a more permanent, top-end mod. At that point, the things to consider are whether...

    Burnt taste for the first time, LR atty...

    Burnt taste is typically an atty getting dry. LR attys will burn through more juice than standard attys. If you are dripping, then drop a few drops when you first get an inkling of dry burn. If you're using carts, well... i haven't used carts in a long time, and never on LR attys before, so...
